Paul Levitz, long-time Legion writer, decided to return to the book with the New 52, and working with Keith Giffen, it’s been a hoot.
If you haven’t been reading the book, Levitz has decided to take it in something of a natural disaster direction. The thirty-first century is powered entirely by quark-based technology… and something, somehow, has just knocked it all out. Everything from systems keeping artificial planets spinning to basic broadcast technologies are down for the count, and if that’s not bad enough, the Fatal Five are back and are living up to their name.
This is where this preview picks up. As you might guess from the cover, things do not break the Legion’s way.
